Minutes after police said he robbed a bank, John Leite had red dye all over his hands when Fall River Police Sgt. Kevin Dolan pulled him out of a vehicle, according to court documents, the Herald News reported.

Leite, 35, of Bowler Street, and two alleged accomplices were arrested and arraigned on unarmed robbery charges Monday in Fall River District Court. Leite was held on $5,000 while his two codefendants -- Jon Perry, 23, of N. Main St. and Chelsea Cote, 21, of County Street -- were held on $25,000 cash bail.

Leite is accused of entering the Rockland Trust, 786 Robeson St., around 3:10 p.m. last Friday, and jumping over a counter when a teller told him to approach. A teller warned the suspect, according to court records.

Police said Leite -- wearing sunglasses and covering his face with an item of clothing -- stuffed more than $350 cash inside his pants pockets, and then ran from the bank, heading south on Robeson Street.

However, some of the cash that Leite allegedly stole was wrapped in two red dye packs, which exploded in front of a Bigelow Street house, according to court documents.

Witnesses reported seeing Leite run into a waiting black Audi sedan on Bigelow Street. Within minutes, Dolan spotted the vehicle traveling south on Robeson Street.

Police officers stopped the suspects’ vehicle near the intersection of Pine and Tremont streets. Police said Leite admitted to robbing the bank, and later told detectives that he was trying to support his heroin addiction, according to court records.

Cote said she did not know Leite was going to rob the bank. Cote said she had arranged to help Leite meet a contact to get heroin, and told police that she got into a brief argument with Leite when she saw his dye-stained hands, according to court documents.

Earlier this year, Seekonk police arrested Cote on a default warrant for unarmed armed robbery in connection to a bank robbery in Fall River. On Jan. 4, police said Cote robbed the Santo Christo Federal Credit Union, 149 Columbia St., by passing a note to a teller. A confidential informant told detectives that Cote bragged about committing the robbery. A witness also identified Cote through a photo array.

Court records indicate that Cote’s case on the January bank robbery was indicted in August to Superior Court. Cote has also used three aliases and has a 2012 drug case from Rhode Island, according to court documents.

Meanwhile, Fall River police detectives said Perry gave an “inconsistent” story about his whereabouts before the robbery, according to court documents.

Leite and Perry are both scheduled to return to court Jan. 13 for probable cause hearings. Cote is scheduled to return to court on Jan. 31.
